Born in East London, Legg taught himself to play guitar at age 19 — and he hasn’t looked back since, releasing some seven albums since 1990, including his most recent release, 1999’s Fingers and Thumbs. In his career, he has received numerous awards and recognitions and was named "Acoustic Player of the Decade (1984-1994)" in Britain’s Guitarist Magazine Reader’s Poll.

Known for his remarkable ability to cover a variety of sounds and crossing all types of musical spectrums with one guitar, Legg’s finger-pickin’ style of music is a blend of jazz, country, folk, rock, and classical — with a mix of wit and humor mixed in, a unique facet that also earns him rave reviews.

Adrian Legg will be performing at Pete’s Café in New Cumberland on August 5 at 9 p.m. Tickets are $15. For more information, call 774-7273.

The opening reception of Sea Gardens is set to take place at The Gallery on August 5 from 5 p.m. – 9 p.m.

A turn-of-the-century Victorian Village, Mt. Gretna was established in the late 1800s when Robert Coleman, heir to the Coleman iron and railroad empire, constructed the Cornwall and Lebanon Railroad from Cornwall to the Pennsylvania Railroad near Elizabethtown, a stop that was named ‘Mt. Grena.’ One year later, Coleman established a picnic park and recreation area near the site — the very site that has since become one of the region’s most popular recreational areas.

The lure of the area and its nestled cottages — and its rumored pixies, fairies, and Christmas year round — is just one aspect to be featured during the tour, as the some ten buildings on display each feature their own unique characteristics, ranging from vintage 1890s cottages and newly renovated cottages to a cottage whose renovations are currently underway.

The 16th Annual Tour of Historic Homes will take place August 5 from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Tickets are $10 in advance and $13 on the day of the tour. For more information, call Mt. Gretna at 964-3800. Mt. Gretna is located on Route 117, near Lebanon exit 20 of the Turnpike.

A veteran of two of the most legendary bands of the 1970s — Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers — McDonald has been called one of the most popular vocalists to emerge from the California scene of that period, appealing to listeners with his trademark husky, baritone voice.

Largely credited for moving The Doobie Brothers’ sound from a ‘boogie-rock’ to a more sedate jazzy and soulful style, McDonald and the band reached their greatest success in 1979 when they released Minute By Minute, an album that spent five weeks at number one on the strength of its hit single, "What a Fool Believes." McDonald left the band in 1982 to pursue a solo career, finding success with his debut recording, If That’s What It Takes. In 1986, McDonald recorded a duet with songstress Patti LaBelle, "On My Own," a song that topped the charts at number one, making up for the somewhat disappointing outcome of his 1985 sophomore release No Lookin’ Back. McDonald spent the next decade pursuing his solo career and, in 1996, rejoined The Doobie Brothers, touring the oldies circuit with the group.

Blue Obsession, released on Ramp Records — the label newly founded by McDonald, actor Jeff Bridges, and Chris Pelonis — is McDonald’s most R&B venture to date, featuring original compositions such as "All I Need," "The Meaning of Love," and "Obsession Blues."

McDonald will be at the Whitaker Center’s Sunoco Performance Theater on August 13 at 7 p.m. For ticket information, call 214-ARTS.
